With a distinct peppery flavor and aroma, arugula not only provides a unique spiciness to recipes, it also provides numerous health benefits due to its high nutrient density. The vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and antioxidants packed in every leaf of arugula decreases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and overall mortality while promoting a healthy complexion, increased energy, and overall lower weight.
Arugula is just the green you need to turn up the volume on your salads, sandwiches, pasta, and even sauces. Add it to gazpacho, or serve it under grilled meat or salty cheese. The potent flavor stands up to bold sauces, dressings, and pairs beautifully with protein.
